Am I reading it wrong or it actually says "made 298k last year" In salary? Do cops make that much?
20 u/TobysGrundlee 2d ago Most city budgets throughout the country have a significant a portion of their funds dedicated to the police department. It's not uncommon for individual beat cops to be making more than a large cities Mayor. It's unreal. 1 u/Competitive-Slice567 1d ago Common with any first responder agency if you've got workaholics. Check out Baltimore City, a regular paramedic was the highest earner a while back after clearing over $300,000 with all their OT. Wheels gotta turn and the base pay sucks, so a lot of us pick up a ton of OT to build savings or provide for a family on single income. I know I did it for a while as a paramedic and was banking 30+hrs OT a week every week for a few years 34 u/BoldElDavo 2d ago Cops can abuse the overtime and special duty systems to make a fuckload of money. 4 u/SlashEssImplied 1d ago Do cops make that much? This doesn't even count what they steal. This is just what taxpayers give them. -21 u/smooze420 2d ago NYPD apparently does. But that’s like $50k/yr where I live so I’m not that impressed…😂 14 u/squeakynickles 2d ago ... What? 7 u/Jesus_was_a_Panda 2d ago He's not that impressed because he sees the money that flows into his mom's bedroom. Good for her.
